Holy priest gear list for 3.3

All items ignore tier set bonuses currently. I will probably add them at a later date.

Items may include hit rating.

I’m pretty sure there are a number of heroic versions of items missing from this list. It appears that, like Trial of the Crusader, there are identical normal and heroic versions of each item. I expect more heroic versions will turn up once tha mode becomes available.

I have no intent of questioning your theorycrafting, but pfff. Way too much emphasise on regen and crit for my tastes. There isn’t a fight that challenges our mana yet, so my BiS list would have a lot more of the pure troughpout items, with both crit and certanly alot, alot more haste.

I was even considering not picking up much of the T10 set, for it has too much spirit and crit. Let alone the ridiculous set bonus.

Anyway, I understand this from a theorycrafting standpoint. And perhaps heroic ICC will test our mana and regen for the first time in 2 tiers, but i’m not holding my breath.

My frost emblems are going to non set troughput pieces, since we all drown in mana.

Jeroenete, Look closely at his list and you will see that all the regular badge loot, like the Chest and gloves outrank the tier peices. My position on it is I will get the shoulders and the pants to at least get the 2 peice tier bonus because it honestly isnt all that bad, but I would fill in the rest with non tier since the 4 piece is ridiculously stupid.

Im not an expert priest here and have yet to have any mana issues playing as Holy (We have a full time disc priest so I dont ever swap over to disc) and we’ve cleared everything but Putricide 25 man so far. But why on earth would anyone who plays Holy, put weight on Haste? To case faster CoH or the already fast Flash heal? With Serendipity, your PoH that are tossed out cast fast enough, so why bother putting haste through the roof? What am I failing to comprehend here?

Hmm lazerus, maybe i’m not understanding you, but as far as I can see, every Tier piece ranks the highest, granted that is heroic version.
U say u will be using 2p, why? I use a renew heavy build for raid healing only. Flash must be my least used spell, i think 2p sucks balls just as much as 4p. Unless you’re disc perhaps.
The other thing with the healing set is all the spirit. Now, this might differ from person to person, but in a 25-man setting there is not one fight whatsoever that even remotely challenges my mana(with fiend and 2min arcane torrents). And I’m using alot of pure throughput pieces, with both haste and crit, no spirit.
Balance in your gear selection is good, when considering regen, haste and crit. But when you’re ending every fight with 50%+mana, you know that you can shift the balance around seriously, with more focus on throughput.

My question? Ah, a post about priests and unlimited mana and your personal gearchoice will be interesting:-) Looking forward to it!

As far as the list is concerned, i agree with a majority of the pieces. Only thing i would probably change would be the 2 piece from t10 cuz the pom heal is insane compared to the flash hot which after testing this out does like 4% of my overall healing compared to pom which is top 2 heals. 1 thing that may also change the list is how many healers your guild runs with for 25man icc. We run with 6 on avg maybe 7 depending on the fights. so when u have 4 raid healers and 2 tank healers some fights can be mana intensive were potions/innervates may come into use. Otherwise i personally prefer more throughput and i usually end a fight with 10% mana and a mana potion still available. Just remember healing isnt about toping the meters its about keeping the raid alive when they fail at the fire boss 🙂

Im a little confused as to why when i link to the Loot Rank page, Muradin’s spyglass (10 H version) is coming up as 3rd best in slot trinket wise. Is this just due to the crit equip effect? Seem’s wierd to have a proc based on dealing spell damage rank so highly among healer items.

What did you use to calculate these values? I ask because most of the progression priests I’ve looked up seem to be stacking haste to the point of gemming for it, and mostly only grabbing crit on a few pieces.
